Intercooler install and pics

As promised some pictures of the intercooler and pipework installation . The cutting , welding and making good are not difficult if you have a 115mm a/grinder and mig set . This resolves the problem of the pressure pipe crossing the top of the engine or trying to use 250td under bumper coolers and plumbing , while also achieving the use of  a larger cap cooler and a vastly superior flow without restrictions.Many light commercial coolers can be used including the humble transit one .
    Inlet manifold is from n/a 602 with the air cleaner replaced by alloy plenum. A 61mm straight through single silencer stainless system keeps back pressure down. The 662 PES55 bosch turbo injection pump has been set to max road use compatable with an accepable tickover [ 700 ] , black smoke limited to a good puff on gearchange. EGR has been deleted . Waste gate adjustable with m/sport airbleed valve . Boost is quick  ,7psi @ 1250 , 15 @ 2500 , 21 @ 3300 . Pyrometer reads to 875 F on hard pull @ 3300rpm .Feels like 160 bhp + , holds 90 on mway , pulls hard to 100 mph max .
Thanks for the fabrication of course to Mike Axel-Berg who enjoys the challenge of fitting upgraded OM 60# into anything.He even has a forklift with an oe OM617 in.He says that is all that those old all iron engines are good for !
